7' This invention relates to collars and in shirt.

A particular 'object'of the invention is to provide a collar, the outer, portion of which lwillfbe prevented from 'wrinkling when the tiehas been tiedand is in position therein,

Aistillfurther object of the invention is to so cut a collarthatwhenthe same isfolded and bent into wearing position, the mate rial of the outer portion, thereof-will be takenv up solthat the collar atits frontends rpoints isftaut and is maintained rigidly in position u so that" distortion thereof cannot readilytake place. 1

A still further-object of the invention is to 7' V rovidea'collar made in a single piece, the same beingcut on an are so that whenthe same'is, folded,j the material 'ofthe collar band; will take up 5 and i will, cause the outer 'portion of the collar to retain-its shape.

To enable others skilled in the art ,to-fully comprehend :thennderlying features of myv invention that they may embodythes'ameinthe various modifications in-structureand relation contemplated, drawings depicting a, preferred'form have been annexed asa part of this disclosure'andin such drawings, similar reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout all the views, of which,

Figure 1 is a view in front perspective of a collar constructed in accordance-with my invention the same i being shown in outline fasit would appear when opened out,,and

Figure 2 is a plan' viewo of the'collar opened particulartothe form shown in Figures '1 and 2, 5indicates the outer portion and 6 the collar band portion of a collar constructed in accordance with my invention, the collar band-6 being provided at its ends with thebuttonhole tabs 7 and buttonholes 8 through V the medium" of which the collar may besecured in position one th'eneckband of a' shirt.

Z As is usual in the softtype'of collar made of linen orotherjsuitable fabric, the outer o sions gland-heretofore; diiiiculty -hasbeen encountered" preventing "these extending points and'the sides'of the collar adjacent thereto fromwrinkling and witha view'to eliminating this fault, Ihave conceived the idea of cutting a single piece ofiniaterial to I h form'the neckband 6 andouter portion of the r collar5 arcuately so that' the lower edge 12,

the line ofisewing llfand the lower edge 10 j of the outer portion 5, will be cut on arcs, the radiiofwhichhwe a common center.

It "has been found that when a collar so constructed is bent into shapefor wear andfisplaced about the shirt neck band, that the outer portion thereofilO, will belclrawn up .to prevent the same from wrinkling or sagging duetothe drawing infof the collar band when'the tie is knotted orotherwise tied.

Inorderto shape the colla-r, the same is provided with the line of sewing 11 which, as before-stated, issubstantially parallel to the portion 10. U o

' If desired, thiscollar may be made ofja single ply ofmaterial: or of two plies. sewn together in any suitable manner.

In any event, the entire collar may bemade from the single piece ofmaterial without pleating or otherwise sewing of the parts together.

.portion is provided with? the pointed exten-i asv lower edges of the collar band 6 and outer 7 It is evident, therefore, that I have pros "vide'd a new and improved. type of collar which can be made of a single piece and which will prevent the outer portion thereof from V :f wrinkling or becomingclistorted during wear.

"It is also evidentthat I have provided a collar, tliegoods of which can-be cut out in a 1 r sin 'le 0 eration thereb eliminatin the nev 7 h c I v cessity of sewing and consequently, providing'a collar which can be produced at'lower cost than has heretofore been possible. r

-l/Vhile Ihave illustratedand described 1 invention withsome degree of particularity, I realize that inpractice various alterations therein maybe made. I therefore reserve' the right and privilege of changing the form 1 a parts without departing from the spirit of f'ofthe details of construction. or otherwise I altering the arrangement, of the correlated. v

. the invention or the scope of the appended claim. 1 v I 'Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patentis The method of manufacturing a collar 7 which consists in cutting the opposite, longitudinai edges ofln single piece of mater al arcuately on radii having a common center I to form a collar band, and an outer jiortion, and providing an ariidte line of stitching, the center of the radius of which is at said common center, between the collar band end the outer portion, to shape the collar, and the 16 radius of the arcuate edge of said outer fjorion b ing horte ,In te tim y whereofl ffix. y sig a ur I PETER TURPAN.
